Conversion from continued fraction of binomial expansion

to that of power function

 

We start from the last result

 

  in special form

 

mentioned yesterday. Its reciprocal is just

 

   in special form

 

where we set z=(1+x)y to 1/z.

 

Now we use the following transformation

 

 

Setting to the expression of , we get

 

   in special form

 

Applying Rule 2(down->front and next) of signs as in 0109, we get

 

   in special form

 

Finally, setting x=x-1 to make the term of xy, we get

 

Thus
